#Huawei full on assault is an example of the broader China trade picture.

HW phones has no #Google support, cannot load common G apps, new HW models uncertainty. HW laptops have no new Win licenses, cannot sell with Win OS. US and int'l chip suppliers not selling to HW. Chaos.

If only the #US would partner with allied countries, join the #TPP, #China would get the message more effectively. HW is surely getting the message, loud and clear. POTUS should look and see that cooperation is better.

China's CCP above their Rule of Law, a new economic system, breaks down the world trade order. US, EU trade profits from selling to China prevent them from going against China. China does not change trade practices, military expansion.

The more the #US dithers, the stronger #China becomes. US needs a long-term vision independent of POTUS.

No mention of #EU complete lack of presence in upholding int'l fair trade against China.

China has the Great Firewall, blocks Western media, web sites and companies, heavily censors content from all media, either controls or blocks out foreign influence, wherever the origin.

When foreign gov't make it easier for #China by blocking inputs to Chinese products, China should be happy, but this is untrue. While the #CCP might feel their job is easier, regular Chinese people, who disagree with banning of foreign influence, look on with dismay, resignation.

This is a big change, and puts the onus on #Huawei to do its own OS updates. Most phone hardware manufacturers are very lax with software updates. This is a very big negative for Huawei phones. #China#smartphone

My Chinese friends see the US-China trade war as the US instigating and China defending.

They cannot see unfair trade practices, IP theft, forced tech transfer, annexation and militarization of SCS islands. These, they believe, are China's right, because #China is great. No amount of debate can shake their resolve.

This cannot continue. Hopefully the #EU joins the #US in voicing the same concerns. If both the US and EU cooperate, then maybe China will see clearly.

Taiwan continues to be blocked from the World Health Organization by China.

You may dispute that #Taiwan is/is not owned by #China, is/is not an independent democratic country, Taiwan can make a significant contribution to medical science and world health. Blocking Taiwan is a purely political play by China. The WHO should not be political.

This year I again lament the exclusion of Taiwan from the WHO assembly, 2019 May 21-26. Politics should never trump world health.

China's Meng Hongwei, past #Interpol Head's wife and two kids have obtained refugee status in #France. At least they are safe. They will not be able to return to #China for the foreseeable future, maybe never. Their lives are in danger.

#MengHongwei is charged with corruption, taking bribes. No evidence has been presented, trials are extremely short, closed to the public, conviction rate is above 95%

As we all know, no side will emerge unscathed. Trump is pushing #China like no other leader has dared to do in the past. Kudos to him, though unsavoury. #US

Egos and careers are on the line. Trump is unpredictable, and possibly demented. The public fight rattles the Chinese. The Chinese can't make heads nor tails. All the issues are out on the table for the world to see. This is good.

US pressures China to do market reform, stop predatory trade, stop IP theft. These are well planned and approved Chinese policies. Expecting fast China policy change, due to US negotiations is unrealistic.

To believe the #China#US rhetoric that talks are going well is wildly optimistic. Good start, but not an end.

The US cannot expect to force China to change trade policy. China will change when it wants, and not before. Trump will not ease up, and should not.

Given China's lack of transparency, accountability and rule of law, that is laughable at best, a lie at worst.

Former head of Bank of #China, academics says international standards need to be tweaked for individual countries. Does not this lose the very definition of "international"? This is perverse China thought at its core.
